Sari's grand adventure

Today was just another perfect day in the city if Altamira. The hot sun shone on the clear waters while all the people went about their happy lives. Nobody noticed or cared about the girl sulking at the snack shack. Sari Yggdrasill sat with her head cocked to the side, analyzing a mother and daughter a short distance away with envious eyes. They sat on towels laughing and joking with each other.

"Why can't I have some of that?" mumbled the brunette wistfully. With a sudden shake of her head she mentally slapped herself. 'What's wrong with me?' she thought 'I got the fairy tale that every orphan wishes for. A parent who loves me and great friends. What else do you want Sari?!'

Feeling ashamed she left for the hotel suite she and her dad lived in. Still lost in her thoughts, she followed her feet home. When she reached the hotel entrance whom did she bump in to?

"Hiya Sari!" Malk.

"Oh, Malk. Hi, how are you?"

"I is fine. But y'all look bluer then an Eskimo bathin' in ice water. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just going to ask dad if he wanted to come with me to the Amusement park."

"Great! We'll ride the roller costar 'till we puke our guts!"

"No Malk! What I meant was just dad and me. You know, like a daddy daughter thing."

"Oh. Well y'all have fun ya hear?"

Malk walked away disappointedly. 'Oh well. She has to learn boundaries with this sort of thing...' thought Sari. 'But this will be good bonding time for dad and me!' she added cheerily, while stabbing the up button on the elevator. "Dad?" she called in to the suite. When no answer greeted her she ran hurriedly to the kitchen and found a note on the fridge. This was there way of communicating lately because Mithos was usually at a job interview.

Dear Sari

I went for a job interview in Asguard. I wont be back until dinner.

Love dad

'Well this is just perfect.' The half-angel thought bitterly. She stomped off to her room and flopped on the bed. 'He's always away when I need him.' Turning on her side she opened the bedside table and extracted the note that her mother had written so many years ago. She didn't have to read it, she knew it by heart. "How could she leave me in a situation like this?" she wondered aloud. "She must have known that life wouldn't be easy for me." whispered the brunette. "Why did she abandon dad and me like this? Was I an accident? Is she ashamed of my existence?" Sari buried her head in her knees and tried to unscramble her thoughts. She couldn't understand why she felt this way. She felt lonelier now then when she was an orphan. There was a hollow spot in her that she couldn't understand. 'Dad's always trying to find work, but that's hard for a 4000 year old ex- dictator to do.' Sari sighed and sank in to her pillows. The truth was that the hollow spot was always there, for as long as she could remember. She always knew that it was because she had no family that she felt like this. When she had met her dad the hollow spot hadn't disappeared it only lessened. Tears welled up in her eyes and she tried to blink them away. 'Go ahead and cry! Theirs no one here to hear you.' Warm tears streamed down her face as she hugged her knees. The only sound in the whole suite was the faint sobs that emanated from Sari's room. She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally regained control of herself. She knew what she had to do. "I'll be tormented my whole life unless I do it." She murmured. Sari grabbed a back pack and shoved travel gear and her mothers note in to it. She jotted off a note stuck it on to he kitchen fridge, turned and left.

Around 6:00 Mithos was in the elevator going up to his suite. He hummed cheerily to himself with a silly grin on his face. His good mood was caused by the fact that he got the job. He was now an employee at the high class inn at Asguard. 'Well, gotta start off small I guess.' The blond thought as he entered the suite. "Sari! I've got great news!" He called. But when no bubbly brunette came to greet him he felt a little worried. He found Sari's note on the fridge.

Dear dad

I'm so sorry for making you worry where I am. I'm just writing this note so that you know that I'm safe. I have gone to look for my mother. I'm note doing this so that I can go and live with her, I just need my questions answered. I can't go my whole life wondering what she would have been like. Please forgive me for running away and only leaving you a note. Perhaps this trait runs in the family. Good-bye... for now

Love Sari

Mithos sank in to a chair, his face as white as chalk as he contemplated how to find Sari.
